The United States was the country with the largest single share of global medical cannabis patent filings in the period between 2001 and 2020. More than one fourth of such patents were filed in the United States. Canada also had a large share with 10 percent, especially in relation to the size of its population. After Uruguay, Canada was the second country that fully legalized cannabis, including cultivation, possession, acquisition, and consumption of cannabis and its by-products.
